“I fly back to Switzerland for work or to visit family and friends. When I don’t travel, I use Skype.”

Aline Smithson (b. 1953, U.S.)
I have selected immigrants who have enriched my life in ways both large and small. [They are] people of two worlds—one foot rooted in the culture that shaped their identity, and one foot rooted in a country built on hope. I asked each person to wear or hold something they brought with them on their journey to the United States. Each object represents a significant personal connection to a place that was once called home.
